A Majorly Minor Break

I'm leaving to Grand Forks, North Dakota tomorrow for the family camp with Pastor Mike Custer and Bible Baptist Church there. It's a terrific camp. I'll be preaching on Sunday morning and then Mon-Fri evenings if you are in the area. There is no wifi or internet provider in the location, so I won't be posting likely until at least the following Saturday. However, I wanted to give you a bit of a one stop shop here for my writings on the secondary/tertiary, major-minor doctrine issue. I mentioned that maybe Phil Johnson reads WIT. I read this twitter feed at the exact time of this discussion with no explanation for why the tweet. You will find Phil's little treatment of this issue, for which you will find answers among the following posts.

Ranking DoctrinesYou would find this one very helpful, because there are links to quite a few discussions on this.

Secondary, Tertiary, or Essential?Here is where I first started writing about this. I could see that this was foundational to and buttressed the fake unity and disobedience to separation in evangelicalism and fundamentalism and really across professing Christianity, despite the fact that very little has been done to defend it Scripturally.

I'm going to be finishing this present series, to show why we should be concerned about what are called minor issues. And I haven't forgotten the two other series here, When I Left Fundamentalism and Transcendence Versus Immanence. I'll be writing more on those two among others.

If you scroll down a bit over halfway you'll see 5 diagrams comprised of concentric circles.

The only one that is inaccurate/slanderous is the fundamentalist one, but I think it's a genuine mistake on the authors part (I think he meant to put most of the dots into the second circle, not the first).

With this correction made, I think those diagrams sum up perfectly what is going on.
